Using the fopen() command as fopen (ftp://url/file) logs on as user anonymous, but the password send in not a complete e-mail adres. My remote server declined acces. An fopen(ftp://anonymous:john@doe.com@server/file, r) does not work, resulting in a bad file description error.
I found my ISP server letting itself trick with john!doe.com
and fopen(anonymous:john!doe.com@server/file, r) is being correct interpreted by php.
Maybe it's an idea to include a full e-mail adres in anonymous access or to change the @ separater to something else?

You have to use urlencode() on the password:

<?php

$passwd=urlencode("sniper@php.net");

$fp=fopen("ftp://anonymous:".$passwd."@ftp.funet.fi/pub/README", "r");

echo fread($fp, 100);
fclose($fp);

?>

OR you can use the undocumented 'from' directive in php.ini
to set your default anonymous ftp/http server password:

from="sniper@iki.fi"

I now added the 'from' directive example into php.ini-dist
file which is distributed with the php sources.
